Message: <blockquote data-quote="xnosipjpqmhd" data-source="post: 2946798">I have mixed opinions.I used 3D dungeon pieces in a one-shot (okay, two-shot) game a while back, just to see how well they worked. It was an updated Caves of Chaos (actually about 1/3 of the whole caves). These pieces are SUPER heavy to haul around, take up a lot of table space, and slow the game down a bit while you fiddle with them.If you do decide to use them for a large dungeon, I strongly recommend that you prearrange various sections of the dungeon on 8x10 thin wooden boards. Then just whip out each full board as the heroes advance. (Also I recommend arranging it so that your board sections divide at doorways.) This method has the added attraction that, as the PCs approach the edge of the map, you can simply remove some boards from the opposite end of the table, slide the remaining boards over a bit (don't scuff yer table!), and add new boards as needed.The second time I used them was at an ENworld game day. I only used them for a single building. I think the cool factor was appreciated by the players, but whipping out (and putting away) a full-color paper map would've been just as good and a whole lot quicker.So I'll probably try them again in the future, when I've forgotten what a pain they were. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Recently I've been sticking with paper maps (but then I'm a graphic designer, so I'm biased).As for price, I couldn't afford the MM and DF stuff. I built my set using a couple boxes of bathroom tile I lucked into real cheap. A little all-purpose adhesive and some paint, and I was good to go!</blockquote>
